Subject: RE: renaming a variable
I am very happy with BookVars. When I go to create a new folder for a
book/part of a book, the first thing I do is create the book file. The
*second* thing I do is create the BookVars file.

Hello John,
maybe a tip for "variable naming conventions": use a number as a prefix in
your variable name. None of the system variables start with a number.
Therefore, I name my variables as follows:
1-productname01
1-productname02
2-companyname01
2-companyname02
3-docname01
4-doctype01
5-version
expressed in this document are those of the sender, and do not
necessarily reflect those of TuVox, Inc.

You don't need to create a new variable and replace the old. You can
just edit the name.
Double-click an instance of the BoldProduct variable to open the

But don't forget this method copies and replaces the formatting too, unless
your variable definition sets the formatting.

Hi, John:
Have you tried Find/Replace, as:

If this works, open all files in the book, save all files in the

Hi John...
You can export the files to MIF and process them with Perl or some
scripting or regex application.
You might check out BookVars, which is specifically designed to manage
variables at the book level .. add, delete, rename, change (new "replace"
functionality coming out soon).
